Preparation
Preparing Your Home for Sale
Preparing a house to be listed in today's market can be stressful and time consuming. Equity Vantage's market listing team from broker, photographer, videographer, staging consultant, and more takes the frustration out of getting your home ready to sell. Our brokerage provides full-service market preparation including consulting on property enhancements, setting a budget, hiring and managing vendors, house cleaning and staging. Our full-service team ensures that property improvements coupled with strategic pricing based on current market conditions result in a maximum return on equity for your house, therefore, giving you an equity vantage over others.
Create a Custom Marketing Strategy
In order to obtain the highest value for your home, Equity Vantage's market preparation team will begin with a preliminary walkthrough of the house to determine the initial scope of services that may be needed to maximize value. Based on the condition of the property, we will provide multiple preparation options with associated schedules and budgets. These strategically focused improvement opportunities are based on a detailed data analytics assessment of the return on equity. Once you have determined the scope of the services, our listing team will begin scheduling vendors to optimize your home's total potential.
Design Services and Staging
The goal of our market listing team is to create a polished yet livable environment to highlight your property's unique features. If your're looking to make an investment into your home before selling, our trusted vendors will go through the cost and return on investment for various improvements that will attract more buyers and add value to your home.
Vendor Management
Equity Vantage has a large network of vendors that we consistently use for market preparation services. Our listing team will oversee the entire house preparation process to ensure that your house looks its best, photographs well and gets sold in a timely manner. We will schedule vendors such as painters, flooring, carpeting, handymen, house cleaners, window cleaners, landscapers, stagers, photographers, floor plan designers and content writers. We also make it our job to stick to the agreed upon budget and make certain that vendors get paid promptly. The listing team also works in conjunction with our marketing and graphic design team to produce the finest marketing materials to showcase your property.
